I've talked a lot as a member of the scientific community at #ScienceMastodon, now my #introduction as a researcher... with a separate account for that.
My aim is to understand how living #cells and #tissues can actively change shape through the generation of internal #prestress within the #cytoskeleton.
For this, I devise #mechanical #models of the #actomyosin (a component of the cell's skeleton which can bear forces and generate #prestress) and then solve them, mostly by #numericalsimulation
